This File brings you information regarding the latest release of the Boris for Blackjack, Casino Blackjack Simulation Software. While the software Editions differ greatly in features, ALL Editions contain Boris' famous "Blackjack Engine". This "Engine" represents the MOST ACCURATE and most HIGHLY DETAILED Blackjack software simulation available to the gaming industry today.

With Boris' Blackjack-Engine, you are guaranteed accurately simulated shuffle and "wash" (card-preparation) procedures. Most Blackjack software simply generate "random" cards for the shuffle. Last I recall, that is NOT what is being done in ANY casino. Random cards would be the equivalent of playing "52-Pickup" 3 times for each shoe. Not only is that ludicrous, more important, it is NOT ACCURATE.

Most Blackjack players are not programmers; most programmers are NOT Blackjack players. With Boris, you get both: expert programming and the collaboration with many Blackjack experts and professional-level players during the last 10+ years. Due to this, you will find Boris screen layouts (Blackjack Table, Statistics and Casino Management) reflecting the REAL WORLD of Blackjack. Everything you see on the screen is there for a reason; the underlying reason being casino simulation accuracy. While Boris may not be as "pretty" as the competition, what good is "glitter" if the "engine" running the software is a Model T?

With Boris For Blackjack, possibly for the first time in Blackjack history, we have a practice tool that can bring us closer to meeting our practice goals in a shorter amount of time. While practicing with Boris, don't be surprised to find that you LOSE much of the time (in comparison to play against other Blackjack programs). This is because Boris software simulations mimic Real-World-Conditions so closely. What you see with Boris is most likely the "way" it will look in that casino at that point in time (since the table opened).

Getting the Most from
Boris' Simulation Software
As computer software goes, Boris' Blackjack simulation software is indeed complex. However Complex does not necessarily mean complicated. To say that Boris is complex simply means that there are a lot of features present in the software. If you Experience this software as "complicated", it simply means that you are probably lacking appropriate pre-requisite information.

A similar situation occurred to me when I first attempted to learn Visual Basic 1.0 back in 1991. Because Visual Basic had just emerged, a number of books immediately hit the market on the subject; one of the best written by the Peter Norton book. In retrospect, I realize that it was an excellent book on this new language except that it had one drawback: it failed to point out that knowledge of windows fundamentals is a pre-requisite to programming with the VB language. Not understanding the pre-requisites to learning Visual Basic, I dove head-long into the book, only to become overwhelmed by chapter 2.

The same situation exists with Boris' Blackjack Simulation software. It is NOT the purpose of this manual to teach you Windows fundamentals. I have no choice but to make the assumption that you have working knowledge of Windows. In other words, it is assumed that you understand what a window is, how a menu bar functions and how to manipulate a list box. However, if you find yourself lacking in windows, a list of helpful books can be found on the Boris Software page of the Boris on Blackjack Website.

Boris' Blackjack Simulation software, is an accurate training aid; probably the most accurate computer software of it's kind in existence. Boris is NOT a substitute for accurate books and seminars on the strategy of your choice. Boris is not designed to TEACH you any particular strategy. However, whatever strategy you endeavor to learn, Boris is equipped to FACILITATE your understanding of that strategy. In fact, in years past, earlier Versions of Boris Blackjack software have been used in training seminars when an adequate number of "dealers" (i.e. instructors) were not available.

With Boris, you will be able to more quickly master your strategy of choice. Or, should your strategy choice turn out to be unworkable (i.e. not a winning strategy), Boris, by way of it's many statistic screens, can assist you towards recognizing that fact, and make the appropriate changes; or Drop the Strategy altogether.

Unlike other Blackjack Software, Boris Simulations are complete, thru-and-thru; from the now-famous accurate Shuffle/Wash Simulations, to the wide-range of A-I players ("tourists" as well as system-players) that wander in and out.

The Importance of Setting Learning Goals
Possessing accurate simulation software (like Boris) is a complete waste, if you do not have a set of pre-defined learning goals. Because there are so many Blackjack strategies available (some workable, most not), you cannot expect this software to set your goals for you.

As a function of goal-setting, you must ALSO devise methods for determining whether you are ACHIEVING those goals. In most cases, you can probably use data from the various Statistic Screens to accomplish this. Should you devise some unique methods for Goal-Tracking, with or without the use of Boris, I would appreciate reading your write-ups on it. These ideas might make a nice article addition to the For Boris Users Only Page in the Software Section on Boris Website..

As a side note: Being the designer of this software, I am well connected in the Blackjack field. Earlier this year I sent letters to many Blackjack Strategy sellers encouraging them to devise methods to assist you in learning their methods more readily.

Towards that end, Casino Gaming Software Systems will be releasing plug-in modules for Version 5 of this software.
